Oh this is not some super secret thing Brian. Just slap some J30 calipers / rotors on and call it a day. Or some Q45 calipers. But they are only 2 piston design. Alot of the stopping power of the bbk is from the larger torque arm advantage of moving the caliper outward.

ghetto would be using home depot parts.
I plan on using some more reasonably priced OE parts that will take time to make work how I want it too

I hope you guys have the ASX versions. Anything else and you will die in even the slightest amount of snow.

May I kindly ask what would make you think 13" rotors with 4 piston calipers would have any chance fitting under the stock diameter / offset wheels?

who said nissan?
I'm well aware of their design being dual piston
and as you said it's the rotors torque you need more, the multiple piston is for more even pad application

Let's review.

1) If you want 16"s then only a slighter larger rotor is possible. Might not be worth it.
2) If you using a non-nissan caliper, it won't be a bolt on affair. I know of 1-2 non-nissan calipers that bolt on for diff nissan applications but I doubt they apply to the maxima
3) If you want to use a high offset wheel other than a 300zx na wheel, then you most likely won't be running a 4 piston caliper regardless of who makes them.
4) Any combo of 2) and 3) and you need a custom designed bracket that will account for any differences in caliper and rotor offsets. Good luck finding one that won't require a bracket that needs specific measurements in all 3 dimensions. aka, needing something much more complicated than a flat dog bone bracket.

Good luck sir. I don't know what you plan, but at least winter is fast approaching. Ice skaking uphill should be a bit easier this time of year.

Thus I defer to my original Q and J30 recommendation. Because honestly, if you have something planned that's cheaper that these, that's plain scary.

It's more about experience and research vs having access. But access would be nice.
